In addition to our internationally recognized Karate for Kids program, we offer the Taekwondo for
Tiny Tigers program. The Tiny Tigers program was developed specifically for preschool age
children ages 3 through 5. This program offers children a strong foundation in essential character
qualities such as courtesy, respect, and self-control. In addition, the program is designed to
improve children’s motor skills and enhance their ability to pay attention and follow directions. All
classes are taught using the most safe, fun, and exciting instruction methods available for this age
group. This program works in conjunction with the Karate for Kids program, thereby emphasizing
the same important monthly themes and value system.
Just like in the Karate for Kids program, Tiny Tigers have their own unique Victory Patch and
Victory Stars. Stars are earned in the same way as the Karate for Kids program, with slight
modifications in recognition of the preschool age of the child. Four different colored victory patches
are available to accommodate all the stars that can be earned by a high achieving Tiny Tiger.
Except for the logo, the four Victory Patches are the same as the Karate for Kids patches.
Upon graduation from the Tiny Tigers program into the “Junior” or “Big Kid” program, Tigers are
rewarded by the opportunity to wear the “Big Kids” or Karate for Kids patch.
The rank and testing system used by the Tigers is slightly different than that of the Karate for Kids.
Tigers can earn six collectable animal patches to display on the belts as follows: Tiger for orange
belt; Cheetah for yellow; Lion for camo; Eagle for green; Phoenix for purple; and Dragon for blue.
All six patches, as earned, can be displayed on the child’s belt.
